“Whatever this guy is getting paid, it’s not enough!”
That is a blatant thievery from Benji and Ev. And truer words were never written. This has nearly put my wife on the floor with laughter, so I’m simply spreading the head-shaking joy…
Revelation 4-5 describe a vision of God’s throne around which are crowded a host of worshipers. In speaking of this passage and its image of worship, Eugene Peterson puts these thoughts out there…
“In worship God gathers his people to himself as center. Worship is a meeting at the center so that our live are centered in God and not lived eccentrically. We worship so that we live in response to and from this center, the living God. Failure to worship consigns us to a life of spasms and jerks, at the mercy of every advertisement, every seduction, every siren. Without worship we live manipulated and manipulating lives. We move in either frightened panic or deluded lethargy as we are, in turn, alarmed by spectres and soothed by placebos. If there is no center, there is no circumference. People who do not worship are swept into a vast restlessness, epidemic in the world, with no steady direction and no sustaining purpose.” (taken from “Reverse Thunder”, p. 60)
Worship as more than ritual, music, or sermon… Eugene, surely you jest! No, surely you’re dead on! And I need some of that in my life pretty much every day I wake up.
On the other days, I can get by without it.
Stamps win.
That’s a pity.
Bring on next season.
If Calgary wins the Grey Cup tomorrow, it’s going to feel like the longest off-season in recent memory for the rest of the world.
If Montreal wins, it’s going to feel like that to the yacky bunch that call themselves the Stampeders.
With some of that cash he’s making, Sir Henry should really go out and rent a movie. Two recommendations: Bambi (take special note of all words spoken to Thumper) or Hancock (because THAT overhaul-your-image-P.R. guy might be handy to meet).
There’s no denying he’s got talent. In fact, he’s got enough to be one of the CFL greats. But there’s more to being a star than just talent. Anthony Calvillo and his Als have shown nothing but class. Henry and his boys seem to be capable of only pulling off three of those five letters.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are honouring Wendell Clark tonight, and I’m using this as my chance to say that this guy was always one of my favourite players. I once made an “I-know-I’m-a-sucker” hockey card deal because the bait on the other end was Wendell’s $4 rookie card… which I still own!
Seriously, this guy was the total package for a hockey player, so Wendell, I salute you, you Saskatchewan boy, you!
A few highlights from this video…
2:16 – This is still one of the most solid hits I’ve ever seen.
3:16 – This looks like UFC and is but one example of why I believe that the only guys who ever “dropped them” with Wendell were guys who SHOULD HAVE been on medication of some sort. There’s just no way…
3:39 – One shot.
4:09 – Wendell was great, but maybe not quite… you know.
